Summary/Abstract: The Church's concern for migrants has a very long tradition. In this time of contemporary, more and more dynamic, migration processes, it is growing. It is demonstrated by, among others, establishing personal parishes for migrants that are entrusted to priests who know their language and customs. The role of such communities is not only the celebration of liturgy, but also catechesis and the ministry of love. The article addresses the question of the shape and assessment of catechesis for Polish children on emigration. Based on empirical research carried out among Polish priests within a scientific project called Religious Education of Polish Emigrants in Great Britain. Current Status and Development Perspectives, answers were given on the organization, content, forms and methods of catechesis for Polish children in the United Kingdom. Their critical analysis and recommendations for further research were made.
